* The Company began accruing interest expense for uncertain tax positions on January 1, 2007. Accordingly, for 2007 and going forward, the interest included in Fixed charges is only the interest on third party indebtedness. Any interest expense accrued on uncertain tax positions is excluded from the calculation of Earnings. Prior years' calculations were not changed.
